The Price of Murder

On the surface, they seem like three very different people: Danny Bronson, a cunning ex-con struggling to go straight; his brother, Lee, a former Gridiron star turned college professor; and Johnny Keefler, a crooked parole officer who lives for revenge. But they all grew up in the same corner of town, a grim little slum known as ''The Sink'', where life is cheap and might makes right. And a story that''s just as dark unfolds when their paths cross as men - at the intersection of brutal violence, illicit liaisons, a ''foolproof'' scam and the intoxicating allure of cold, hard cash.
